The shifter was hard going sideways into the 4th position from the drive position, it shifts well. I put some lithium grease at the lever area and over a period of time it has started to work correctly.It will not come out of park without stepping on the brake. I suspect the cold weather has something to do with it. I am going to put the car away for the winter as soon as my minivan is ready. The MB is having a paint job then it is going into storage till March or April. I'll be looking for some classy wheels for the summer. I Like the factory 16" so I'll probably stay with the 16" just a different style.
